Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Cresselia Lv X aslo worth playing?

Cresselia Lv X :psychic: 100HP

:ppowr: Full Moon Dance
This power can only be used once during your turn. Choose one damage counter in play then move it to another pokemon.

:psychic::psychic::colorless Moon Skip 40
If the Defending pokemon is knocked out from this attack you may take additional prize


weakness 2x:psychic:
retreat 1
Resistance 0


Its attack does mean that if you knock out an EX you do take 3 prizes. I think has just a little promise.:wink:

what do ya think?
 
Yes it does Brandon.
The card isnt THAT great because you can't DRE or Scramble it since it is basic and 40 for 3 isn't that spectacular
 
Yes, It levels up FROM A BASIC. When the card levels up, it doesn't evolve, it just gets a little stronger. Example: Infernape Lvl X isn't a Stage 3, it's just a stronger version of the Stage 2.
 
Use Gardevior PK with Cresselia Lv.X. You can use the Damage Counter you get from Gardy's power moved onto your opponent's pokemon. Plus you get an extra energy. That might be the best way to play Cresselia Lv.X.

I really like Cresselia. It has some potential. And Leafeon is FTW!!!

As for Glaceon, I know 2 people in my league who'll pass out when they hear what it can do. My two friends love water decks. I may build a deck with Glaceon Lv.X myself.

Garde places 2 damage counters, not 1. :/

On another random note, you can't tech in Bannette EX, unless your format has Legend Maker legal in it. Most modified formats don't happen to have that luxury.

Cresselia is... Interesting, but I wonder about how much it actually can do. Maybe the Basic is incredible and we've all overlooked it. But Cresselia LV.X on it's own suffers from being...
1) LV.X (thus 2 are playable at most, which... is good for recovering from Garde, but bad in that they are not Holon Mentor searchable and must be active to be leveled up)
2) 3 energy to do anything (without considering the normal Cresselia. Needing less energy to do stuff is good. 3 energy to do 40 damage is... really bad. It's a fun finisher, if you could actually finish anything with it. If this was 50 damage instead, this would be SO MUCH BETTER.)
3) The 2X weakness to psychic is REALLY dangerous. Nidoqueen MT always one shots this thing. Opposing Cresselia's with a strength charm one shot it. Crobat MT one shots it. Flygon EX makes this thing shiver in fear with it's attack AND body. Just scary considering how much promise those cards might hold, and how very hard of a match up you'd have against them.

Now... What could it be played with?
Well... Garde's a good idea when you have 2 out, and the new kirlia lets you use 2 supporters a turn (sort of). What about an easy to fit Fighting Tech into that deck? Reducing anyone to 50 HP left makes Cresselia pick up 2 prizes should the thing come out, and Cresselia hold a Strength Charm.
What about a pokemon that lets you control what your opponent has active? Bring up pokemon without energy to lay damage, then bring up a weakened target to KO with Cresselia? After all, Water and Psychic Pokemon both have ways of reducing their retreat cost (heck, Holon WP can be used by both, so long as a psychic energy is attached). Problem with this way, is that you're running two Basic LV.X pokemon, but it could work should a good sniper be found. Octillery maybe?

But man, that energy cost is brutal... Especially with the need to have tools to scratch opposition. :/
 
Level up still counts as an evolution, therefore you can scramble/DRE to it. Reasoning: Though it is still cresselia, you cannot put Lvl. X on it's regular form on the same turn because that is a form of evloution. Surely Cresselia Lvl X isn't a stage one, so it can't be candied to, but it is either a basic pokemon or evolution card. Since it can't be searched via mentor, and can't be lain as a basic, it is an evolution card and so is treated as an evolved pokemon when played on Cresselia.
 
This card is soo easy to break. It's power is enough of a finisher. I can see it getting teched easily.

Wrong.

Poke-Power: Energy Growth
This Power can be used once during your turn. Choose an Energy from your hand and attach it to 1 of your Pokemon. This Power can't be used if Leafeon is affected by a Special Condition.

Pokebeach's translations are more legible.

Just another AMAZING tech for Blissey. I can see Blisseylutions.
